Cheese It!

This week
we’re putting British Cheese on a pedestal and throwing a salute its way. Why?
Because it’s British Cheese Week of course – a once-a-year chance to pay homage
to one of our favourite and voraciously versatile ingredients, by conjuring up
some delicious cheese crêpe recipes.

When it comes to crêpes, there’s nothing that
manages to get tummies rumbling more than the addition of a tasty bit of
British cheese. Sprinkle it on, wrap it up, melt it down and savour. Yum.

We believe that cheese is a crêpe’s natural
alliance, and with British Cheese Week rolling around on 7–15th September,
there’s never been a better time to start working your way through the 700
different varieties that Britain has under its belt.

So stock up on crêpes, fly
your flags and champion some cheesy British crêpe-ness with four of our tried
and tested cheese crêpe recipes.

Classic
champ: cheese and ham crêpe

A classic crêpe combination, the cheese and ham
crêpe is always a winner. Cook up your crêpe and add some delicious smoked ham,
sprinkle a strong flavoursome cheddar on top and let it melt. We recommend a
tangy Cornish number, such as Worthy Cheddar. Tuck into your crêpe whilst the
gooey cheese is still hot and stringy, for a quick and tasty cheesy treat.

Punchy
and potent: blue cheese and bacon crêpe

For a crêpe that packs a punch, why not choose one
of the many powerfully pungent British blue cheeses we have at our fingertips.
Crêpe Cuisine favourites include Stichelton, Colston Bassett and Dorset Blue
Vinney. To take your crêpe to the next level, we recommend adding a couple of
rashers of crispy smoked streaky bacon, to really set off a flavour explosion.
Not for the faint hearted.

Summer
snacking: cheese and asparagus crêpe

For a taste of summer all rolled up, why not
chargrill some fresh asparagus spears, layer them on top of your crêpe, add a
curl of salted butter and let it melt. Grate up and layer on some hard cheese
with a nutty edge – we suggest a full-flavoured Lincolnshire Poacher – for a
rounded, fresh and full-up summer snack.

Sweet something:
sweet fig, goats cheese and honey crêpe

For a fancy fusion of sweet and savoury, slice up
some ripe and ready figs, scatter them inside your crêpe, drizzle over some
honey and then add some mild and creamy goats cheese. We love the mild flavour
of Devon’s Vulscombe cheese or the melted goodness of Somerset’s White Lake.
For some extra texture, why not add a handful of toasted walnuts to really top
it all off?

So crank up your grills, fire up your frying pans
and get cheesy for British Cheese Week. Whether it’s a special occasion or just
dinner with a difference, here at Crêpe Cuisine we’re always dreaming up fun
flavoursome ways to enjoy our buttery crêpes. Take a look at our full range of crêpes for tasty ways to whet your appetite.
